Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Looking at the room where he was now all alone, Shen Ye first sighed softly, then smiled.

Although I've only been here for less than half a night, it feels pretty good. I've met Barrett's daughter Marlene, as well as Emina and Alice. This is a fantastic start.

"Okay, let's go to sleep. Hopefully, tomorrow's story will be even more exciting."

Shen Ye took off his coat, lay down on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

……

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, Shen Ye didn't wake up naturally. Marlene's loud knocking on the door made him unusually grumpy when he got up.

"Uncle..."

After opening the door, Marlene called out to him again in a drawn-out voice, then jumped onto his bed and bounced around on it.

"Marlene, get down, let me lie down for a while longer," Shen Ye said, pinching his brow, marveling at how energetic the child was.

"You can't sleep anymore! Sister Alice and Aunt Emina are already up and preparing breakfast." Marlene stopped what she was doing, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Shen Ye. "Besides, Sister Alice said that you'll have to help her take me back to Seventh District later!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to sleep." Shen Ye scratched the back of his neck, started getting dressed, and then went downstairs with Xiao Marlin.

Good morning, Shen.

As soon as Shen Ye went downstairs, he ran into Alice, who was serving breakfast on the dining table. Alice greeted him.

"Good morning, Alice," Shen Ye replied, then went to wash up.

Marlene had already told him; early in the morning, Emina went to buy them toiletries.

After he finished washing up, the group sat down together to eat breakfast.

"Alice, Shen, you two must make sure to get little Marlene home safely," Emena instructed the two at the dinner table.

"Don't worry, Ms. Emina, everything will be fine with me here," Shen Ye said earnestly, taking a sip of his porridge.

"That's good." Emina rubbed Marlene's head and nodded.

……

(Seventh Street, Seventh Heaven Bar, let's go!)

Chapter 139! Heading to the Seventh District

……

After having breakfast, the three rested for a while, then said goodbye to Emina and left home.

"There's a bus stop nearby with buses to Seventh Street."

On the street, Alice and Shen Ye walked side by side, with little Marlene between them, each holding one of their hands.

"Sister Alice, have you been to the Seventh District?" Marlene looked up at Alice.

“I’ve been there a few times, to sell flowers,” Alice said, then rubbed her forehead in regret. “Oh no, I should have brought some flowers with me, so I could have earned some money to help support my family.”

"Don't worry, Alice, my dad will definitely give you a thank-you fee after you take me back," Marlene said.

Alice shook her head: "No need for that, Marlene. I'm not taking you home for the money."

"Alright then," Marlene said with some disappointment, then turned to look at Shen Ye and found that he seemed to be thinking about something, his expression somewhat serious.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Marlene asked him. "You looked so serious just now!"

"It's nothing." Shen Ye composed himself, shook his head with a smile, then glanced behind him and gave a soft hum.

He sensed that someone was following them.

"Shen, don't worry, he means no harm."

As the only ancient species, Alice was not a weak woman. She also possessed special perception abilities and knew what Shen Ye was worried about.

"Okay!" Shen Ye nodded, then ignored the people following them and turned to chat with Alice and Little Marlene.

They arrived at the station quickly.

Before coming, Shen Ye had already exchanged money in the system store, but he was not familiar with the place at all. While he was still looking at the route, Alice had already bought the train tickets.

Seeing Shen Ye's somewhat dejected expression, Alice smiled and said to him, "I'll let you pay next time."

She then picked up Marlene and pulled Shen Ye onto the bus heading to Seventh Street.

……

The bus was moving quickly and soon arrived at the overpass between the fifth and sixth blocks. There were Shinra soldiers guarding the area, but they simply boarded the bus, glanced around, and did not check or question the passengers' identities before letting the bus enter the sixth block.

The bus then continued towards the seventh block, but it was stopped by a group of people not far away.

They were a group of guys who didn't look like troublemakers. One of them, a very strong man, got on the bus after the door opened and shouted to the people inside, "By order of Boss Koru Neo, we are going to check the people in the bus. Please don't be afraid."

Although he spoke very politely, his words were full of an air of absolute authority. Then, he and a few of his underlings began to check on each of the people in the seats.

"What bad luck, how could something like this happen?" Alice said with a frown.

She knew exactly what kind of person Koru Neo was. He was a prominent figure who controlled the underworld forces in the city, and most importantly, he was a womanizer. So his subordinates would often search for beautiful women to please him.

Every woman in the Midgar slums loathed him.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Shen Ye squeezed Alice's arm and said softly.

Soon, the burly man arrived at the row where Shen Ye and Alice were sitting. When he saw Alice's appearance, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes, and an idea immediately formed in his mind.

"If I offer her up, the boss will definitely reward me handsomely."

But just as he was about to order his underlings to make the arrest, he noticed Marlene nestled in Alice's arms. He paused for a moment, then immediately pulled a photograph from his pocket. After glancing at it, his face lit up with joy. This little girl was exactly the person his boss was looking for!

"What a double celebration!" The burly man grinned, then waved his hand, summoning his henchmen to surround him.

"This beautiful lady, and this lovely little girl, please come over. Our boss wants to see you." The burly man ignored Shen Ye, who was sitting by the aisle, and spoke to Alice and Marlene.

Alice didn't even glance at him, but simply hugged Marlene tighter, then looked at Shen Ye beside her.

"Can I refuse your boss's invitation on their behalf?" Shen Ye tilted his head and looked at the big man.

"What do you think?" The burly man glared at Shen Ye. "Kid, this is none of your business. Get out of here."

"What if I say no?" Shen Ye stood up and looked at him coldly.

"Then prepare to be fed to the rats in the sewers," the burly man said with a ferocious expression, before raising his hand to grab Shen Ye's collar.

But he was much slower than Shen Ye. Before his hand could even touch Shen Ye, he was grabbed by the throat and lifted up.

This big man was over 1.9 meters tall and weighed at least 100 kilograms, but Shen Ye lifted him as easily as if he were a chicken.

The burly man, whose throat was being choked, was unable to utter a word and even had difficulty breathing. His face turned bright red, and he kept slapping the arm that Shen Ye was using to choke him.

"Put down our leader!" The big man's henchmen shouted from the side after a moment of hesitation, but none of them dared to step forward to help.

Are you kidding me? My own brother is such a good fighter, and he's already like this. If they go up there, aren't they just feeding him?

"Shen." Seeing that the big man's face was turning from red to purple, Alice pressed Shen Ye's shoulder and shook her head at him.

"Not here."

She wasn't pleading for the big man, but rather reminding him that little Marlene was still there.

Shen Ye naturally wouldn't kill someone in front of Little Marlene. Of course, he also didn't want to be too conspicuous. He only let go of the big man after he felt that he was about to die.

"Whoop whoosh!"

The burly man, already severely oxygen-deprived, slumped down in the aisle, gasping for air. His arrogant expression had vanished, and his look at Shen Ye had turned to terror. He could sense that the other man had genuinely intended to strangle him.

"sorry."

The big man was a flexible character. After experiencing the ferocity of the man in front of him, he quickly got up, bowed deeply to Shen Ye, and then hurriedly got out of the car with his underlings.

"Get out of my way."

After getting out of the car, the burly man dispersed his men who were still blocking the way, then bowed and gestured for them to proceed.

"Keep driving, driver," Shen Ye called out to the driver.

"Oh...oh, okay." The driver swallowed hard and quickly started the bus.

Watching the bus drive away, the burly man touched his neck and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before he could finish exhaling, a hand patted him on the shoulder.

"Which blind fool is it?" the burly man cursed as he turned around, already annoyed.

Then he froze, because behind him stood an exceptionally handsome long-haired man.

Beside the man was a group of fully armed Shinra soldiers.

"What did you do when you got in the car?" the handsome, long-haired man asked with a smile.

Chapter 140! Tifa Lockhart

"I...I didn't do anything." Faced with the long-haired man's questioning, the burly man quickly answered, then said with a fawning smile, "Sir, our boss is Higashi Kuruneo. He knows many high-ranking members of Shinra Corporation. Perhaps you even know our boss..."
